“You needn’t worry about that,” Yang Xiaotian said. “Just continue with the purchases.”
He was now the Sword Hall Master, representing the entire Divine Sword Academy.
How could Peng Zhigang fuss over such a trivial matter?
Afterward, Yang Xiaotian inquired about the cultivation status of those three hundred slaves from Ate and Ali.
“More than thirty people have broken through to the second layer of the Innate realm,” Ate reported respectfully. “And over forty people have already reached the peak of the first layer of the Innate realm.”
“The rest are almost all in the late stage of the Innate first realm, with just a very few in the middle stage, ” Ate added.
Yang Xiaotian nodded.
It was not in vain that he had spent so much on top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid and top-quality Dragon-Tiger Elixirs for these people.
After these slaves broke through to the Innate realm, he had concocted two more top-quality Dragon-Tiger Elixirs for each of them.
It was precisely because of this that the slaves had improved so quickly over the past two months.
Later, Yang Xiaotian also asked Ate and Ali about their own cultivation progress and, learning that they had both broken through to the fourth layer of the Innate realm, he nodded in satisfaction.
Although he had two Supreme Martial Spirits, the cyclones he formed were too large, and each breakthrough required an extremely vast amount of nature’s spiritual energy. Moreover, he had been focusing on solidifying his foundation and mainly cultivating swordsmanship, so the breakthroughs of Ate and Ali were not slower than his own.
Yang Xiaotian then examined their alchemy level.
Seeing that their alchemy skills continued to improve, he was very comforted.
At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before they could produce high-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.
Once they could produce top-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, they could take a lot off his shoulders.
Otherwise, maintaining so many slaves on his own would wear him out.
Still, just relying on Ate and Ali to share the burden was insufficient, so he had them teach the slaves to see who had a talent for alchemy.
If they had a talent for alchemy, they could be cultivated more intensively.
The two of them agreed.
“Young Master, the Fourth Princess returned to the Royal City last month,” Ate said hesitantly. “It’s said that she’s asking the King to issue a decree to execute you. There’s talk in the city that His Majesty the King will come to Divine Sword City in a few days.”
When out buying ingredients for concocting the Dragon-Tiger Elixirs, they had heard many people discussing it.
“Hmm, I know,” Yang Xiaotian nodded.
He wasn’t particularly concerned about this matter.
After instructing them to practice alchemy more, he casually walked over to Luo Qing’s courtyard. He then had Luo Qing pick out thirty slaves to form the Shadow Squad, training them to help him gather information in the future. Having lived two lives, Yang Xiaotian knew the importance of information.
Later, Yang Xiaotian went to see Xiao Jin.
This little guy had been practicing the Heavenly Beast Art almost without ever leaving the house these days.
And with Yang Xiaotian’s exceptional Four Symbols Spirit Pills, Xiao Jin’s transformation was even more astonishing.
The little guy’s entire body was glowing with a golden light from his scales, within which flickers of flame seemed to flow.
From a distance, it looked as if he was draped in a layer of golden flame.
Moreover, a horn had already started to grow on his forehead.
Undoubtedly, it was a dragon horn.
Both Yang Xiaotian and Luo Qing were amazed at the little guy’s changes.
However, Luo Qing was also unable to determine Xiao Jin’s origins.
But judging by his assessment, Xiao Jin was likely a mutant beast.
As for what kind of mutant beast, that remained unknown.
Yang Xiaotian decided to return to the Academy Repository in the next few days to diligently search the records, hoping to discover Xiao Jin’s origins.
Xiao Jin, upon seeing Yang Xiaotian, was very happy, and then he executed several sets of fist techniques taught to him by Yang Xiaotian, and had actually reached the Perfection Realm in all of them.
However, it looked quite bizarre to see a fierce beast like Xiao Jin performing human fist techniques.
Yang Xiaotian practiced the Hundred Swords Technique for a while and then returned to the Divine Sword Academy Repository to look for information about ancient mutant beasts.
However, after searching all morning, he still could not find any information about Xiao Jin’s origins.
But since Xiao Jin had grown dragon horns, he must be related to some ancient dragon clan.
Afterward, Yang Xiaotian went to the Inner Hall of the Sword Hall to look through the swordsmanship manuals and Divine Skills left by Cao Shun.
Although he was not yet able to practice Divine Skills, there was no harm in looking through them.
In addition to Cao Shun’s swordsmanship manuals and Divine Skills, he also perused some of Cao Shun’s personal notes, most of which were insights and realizations regarding swordsmanship.
As the only Martial Emperor Expert of the Divine Sword Academy in several hundred years, Cao Shun’s insights and realizations about swordsmanship broadened Yang Xiaotian’s knowledge and vision considerably.
Yang Xiaotian saw Chen Changqing and the others practicing swordsmanship and discussed with them many insights about the art of the sword.
After leaving the Sword Hall and walking on the streets of Divine Sword City, Yang Xiaotian noticed many outside sects and family experts had come to the city, as well as experts from other countries.
From the conversations of the people around him, Yang Xiaotian learned that many had come for the Pharmacist Competition and the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild auction.
Of course, even more people had come for Lord Long.
“I must take Lord Long as my master!” a family disciple declared, raising his arm.
“Give it up, not even the four greatest alchemists of the Divine Sea Country are necessarily qualified to take Lord Long as their master, let alone you with that monkey appearance?”
“I heard that the King of Ancient Sword Kingdom will bring all his princesses with him.”
“Why?”
“There’s a secret message claiming that Lord Long is unmarried! The King of Ancient Sword Kingdom is bringing all his princesses to see if any of them catch Lord Long’s eye.”
“The princesses of Ancient Sword Kingdom are all beautiful like flowers; if I were Lord Long, I would take them all!” someone laughed heartily.
The Ancient Sword Kingdom is also one of the subordinate nations of the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom. Among the dozens of surrounding countries, the Ancient Sword Kingdom is much stronger than the Divine Sea Country.
Yang Xiaotian listened to these people’s discussions and was somewhat speechless.
Who knows where they got their secret messages from.
But even if he were unmarried, the King of Ancient Sword Kingdom need not bring all his princesses along.
After returning home, Yang Xiaotian practiced the Hundred Swords Technique for a while, then began alchemy.
While concocting elixirs, Yang Xiaotian remembered the three Abnormal Fires Chen Changqing mentioned later on.
Among the three Abnormal Fires, one named Celestial Flame was located in Divine Sea Country.
He planned to subdue the Celestial Flame as soon as Liao Kun and Zhang Jingrong returned.
Although the Celestial Flame was ranked lower than the Nine Phoenixes Golden Flame, it was still among the top hundred in the Abnormal Fire List, ranking seventy-third.
Seven days later, Liao Kun and Zhang Jingrong, who went out to purchase, returned with seven hundred slaves at the peak of the Acquired Tenth Order as expected by Yang Xiaotian.
During these seven days, Yang Xiaotian had already refined seven hundred portions of top-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, so after buying seven hundred slaves, he gave them Control Elixir, taught them cultivation techniques, and had them consume the top-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid to cultivate.
After finishing all this, Yang Xiaotian had Liao Kun and Zhang Jingrong stay at home while he set out with Luo Qing to subdue the Celestial Flame.
Seeing that Xiao Jin was diligently practicing the Heavenly Beast Art at home, he did not bring Xiao Jin this time.
After leaving Divine Sword City, Yang Xiaotian and Luo Qing took mountain roads.
Several days later, they arrived at Wushan.
The Celestial Flame was within Wushan.
Wushan was a mystical mountain in Divine Sea Country, and legend had it that a Witch God Expert had once been buried there..
